Default Sirus Radio in 2000 Beetle?

Anyone have success installing a Sirus receiver in an older Beetle like a 2000? I see Sirus offers an inexpensive "Audio Vox XM Snap In Vehicle Radio" that plugs into cig lighter. You connect it to the radio with a cassette tape cartridge (or auxilliary port if one avilable) then you have to fish an antenna under the windshield gasket, etc.

Just wondering if it works?

I put a Sony stereo with Sirius in my first NB, the 2002 Turbo S.


But, I don't see why what you mention wouldn't work.

Your options are using a tape adapter, FM adapter, aux-in adapter(using the changer input) or getting an oem cd with sat, the sat receiver box and antenna. the last option is the best looking but the most expensive.
